Collins 52, Farragut 49--Collins` 52-49 victory at Farragut Friday afternoon in the Public League`s Red-West Section was a barnburner, but only a few people saw it.

No Farragut students were allowed in the gym to watch the game because of a ruling by Farragut principal Christine Loving. Too bad, because they missed a valiant bid by the Admirals to upset Collins (18-4, 11-2), co-leaders with Crane in the Red-West and ranked 14th in The Tribune`s poll.

Farragut (16-7, 9-4), led by Mark Williams (15 points), took a 29-22 halftime lead with Keith Gillespie canning a running 74-foot shot that beat the buzzer.

Collins, powered by Antoine Davison (16 points) and Walter Bond (11), went on a 15-8 third-quarter binge to forge a 37-37 deadlock entering the final quarter. Mark Lockhart, the key to Farragut`s three-guard offense, fouled out in the third quarter taking much of the Admirals` floor leadership with him, according to assistant Ron Eskridge.

Downers Grove South 55, Proviso West 54--Wesley Wright hit a jumper from the corner with :06 left as Downers South (16-6) stunned 19th-ranked Proviso West (20-4) in a West Suburban Conference crossover match. Kit Mueller led Downers with 19 points. Pat Kennedy had 18 for West (20-4).

St. Charles 67, Lake Park 49--Saints coach Ron Johnson, who earlier in the week was awarded his 500th career victory (30 seasons) when West Aurora had to forfeit 21 games for using an illegal player, chalked up No. 501 as Mike Davison scored 22 points. St. Charles is 18-7, 8-5 in the Upstate Eight. Geneva 85, Morris 74--Rich Bristow scored 28 as Geneva (9-15, 4-10)
